Books can help you in all sorts of ways.
Today we are sharing comments from people who have borrowed books from the Cancer Information Centre here at the Christie:
“The book has given me some language
to help deal with expressing my feelings
about my husband’s terminal illness and chemotherapy treatment”
(When Breath Becomes Air by Paul Kalanthi)
“It helped me to be more positive about
my future. And to understand more why
I felt as I did. What she writes is so true”
(Thrive: The Bah Guide to Wellness After
Cancer by Stephanie Butland)
“ I have never really enjoyed poetry
anthologies but this was different –
I engaged emotionally with so many
of the poems”
(Being Alive edited by Neil Astley)
